Chapter 1857: Not Backing Down Chapter 1857: Not Backing Down Editor: Henyee Translations Fan Ruyin’s voice reverberated, charged with indignation.

“Stop trying to frighten Mother!

She’s just recovered, and you’re scaring her again.

What’s your intention?!” “No one can match your skills, can they?” First Madam Fan retorted with a sneer.

“Over the years, you’ve engaged in plenty of such antics!

I don’t wish to dwell on the past, but today’s events must be clarified.

Moving forward, there must be order in this household!” Suddenly, Fan Ruyin turned towards Old Lady Fan, her expression pleading.

“You’re defying authority!” “Mother, please don’t be upset!” First Old Master Fan intervened hastily.

“Why don’t you hear them out first?

Then we can discuss how to address the situation.

What do you say?

Let’s not let anger cloud our judgment!” Second Old Master Fan added his voice to the plea.

“Indeed, Mother.

If you faint again, it will harm your health!” Wary of any further physical strain, Old Lady Fan shot a fierce glare at the two patriarchs but managed to suppress her anger.

“Fine, tell me!

I want to hear your side of the story!

Otherwise, you might think I’m showing favoritism and not allowing you to speak!” Internally, First Madam Fan couldn’t help but think, “How self-righteous you are!

Do you not realize your own bias?” First Madam Fan recounted the events of the day, detailing every occurrence.

Fan Ruyin, caught off guard by her mother’s acquiescence, simmered with frustration, itching to interject and offer rebuttals.

Yet, she knew it was futile; First Madam Fan was too enraged to heed any pleas for silence.

But even as Fan Ruyin bristled, First Old Master Fan’s attempts to intervene fell on deaf ears.

She wouldn’t listen to him, let alone First Madam Fan.

Old Lady Fan remained impassive, her expression cool and detached, offering no indication of stopping Fan Ruyin’s impending outburst.

Finally, First Madam Fan concluded her account, visibly drained.

“Madam Shao stormed off today, incensed.

Lord Shao has garnered considerable support in Anze Province.

His methods are well-known, and we stand no chance against him.

Even if we remain unconvinced, resistance is futile.” “None can deny the implications of Madam Shao’s departure.

It’s clear I acted deliberately.

We must consider the potential repercussions of provoking her wrath.” “As officials, they hold power over us as citizens.

Our Fan family is no match for Lord Shao in a direct confrontation.

Sister-in-law acted rashly.

I urged her to retract and apologize.

What’s wrong with that?” “Direct apology signifies genuine remorse!” Fan Ruyin sneered.

“Sister-in-law, are you so easily rattled by mere words?

Ridiculous!

Our Fan Family is flourishing, abiding by the laws of the Qin Dynasty.

The Prefect should tread carefully before crossing us!

As for me, I simply believe Mrs.

Guan speaks the truth.

Is it wrong to defend her?

Otherwise, Madam Shao may well side with Mrs.

Jia!” “Hmph!

She can voice her opinions, yet I can’t?

How tyrannical!

She’s narrow-minded and incapable of accepting differing viewpoints.

And somehow, it’s my fault?

Sister-in-law, your bias couldn’t be more apparent!” “Don’t forget, we’re family!

Don’t forget that Shao just humiliated our family!

Even if you cozy up to him like this, he might still harbor disdain for you!” “I can sense your disdain for me growing stronger by the day!” First Madam Fan was left speechless.

She felt a surge of both anger and anxiety.

She hadn’t anticipated her sister-in-law’s obstinance.

She could twist the truth so convincingly, painting herself as the defender of the Fan family while portraying First Madam Fan as the betrayer.
